Traditional Ifugao Pattern
The Binanniya/Bayawak (Lizard) pattern was used on the boy's suspenders and jacket. According to Jose Moya of Tatler page, this pattern resembles a lizard, an animal Kadangyans (rich or high-status people of Ifugao) use to symbolize wealth and nobility; hence, the meaning of this pattern has a big connection with the status of the citizens during the Steampunk era. As it is a futuristic concept and a time of wealth and industrial prosperity, majority of the people belong at the high class in the hierarchy.
Instead of the Steampunk striped pattern, Kinattibanglan pattern was used on the skirt design of the girl. As the relevance of choosing this diamond-like pattern is to give honor to its use of mainly for skirts or blankets.

Philippine National Footwear
The base/foundation of the girl's footwear is locally made from light wood or the Philippine National Footwear which is, "Bakya"
Philippine Handcrafted Jewelries
Besides having a final dress accessory centered on mechanical gears and clocks (heart choker, belt charm, dress chain, clock belt), I made use of certain Philippine handcrafted jewelries such as wood beads and shells.
MABINING MANDIRIGMA
The striped pattern of the inside T-shirt of the boy was inspired
from a Philippine-Steampunk play,
"MABINING MANDIRIGMA"
LOCAL ARTISANS
Clock belt & other metal gears can also be inspired to be metal crafted by certain local metal crafters in the Philippines, like with what I've researched, "E. Torres Metal Craft."
Both footwears were also inspired to be created by Marikina shoe artisans.
